Edward Young Washing the Ink from his Hands

Edward Young is calling it quits this afternoon as he works his last shift at the Los Angeles Times Olympic Production Facility today. His colleagues will send him off with a small party to mark his twenty-seven years at the newspaper at 1:00 p.m.

Mr. Young is the last of the four Young Brother’s that have worked at the Times for many years, his brother Joe left the newspaper four years ago, James left three years ago, and Tom about one year ago.

Ed’s actual retirement happens next Saturday (December 19th) on his 65th birthday, with his last week at the Times spent on vacation.

With so many buyouts and lay offs at the newspaper we experience very few retirements.

Ed will be missed by his colleagues at the Times.
